vodacom alsxo have handset financing now so you can most probably get it on a Business TopUp 315 witnh a R179 financing plan.That would work out to pretty much what MTN are offering.

Just out of curiosity Wangs,after reading that very extensive X1 review,are you maybe even slightly tempted to jump the Symbian ship (Nokia Tube) and get yourself a Windows Mobile X1?


Good question posed there, boet. I do like the look of the X1 and what it offers. I think that as it's so darn expensve and the fact that it's bound to have a similar cam module as what I've already got is keeping any wanton tendencies away.
I don't mind WinMo though; I had a Windows Mobile phone before (5.0) and although it takes a bit of getting used to (for me anyway, after a diet of UIQ and S60), I actually quite liked it.
I'm in no huge rush though; methinks I'll see what the 5800 retails for first and take it from there.
It'll definitely be cheaper than the X1 too.

@ Gucci:

How's this for a processor :

(Care of GSMArena):

'Asus announced their latest business PDA phone - the P565. It sports the fastest CPU in the class - the 800 MHz Marvell TavorP and comes with the company's latest touch-driven interface - the Glide. In addition it brings in quite a number of multimedia features, adding up to quite a powerful package.



Asus P565 comes with a 2.8" VGA screen and features tri-band (900/1800/1900) GSM/GPRS/EDGE support. It also has 3G with HSDPA and Wi-Fi to ensure the faster data transfers where the infrastructure allows it.

The fully touchscreen-operated Asus P565 also sports GPS, microSD card slot and a 3MP auto focus camera. The usual suspects - Bluetooth v2.0 and USB are also on-board. There is 128MB of RAM to deal with the Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional OS needs.

Unfortunately, there is no information about the availability or the pricing of Asus P565 yet.'

Ya the INQ. Really not a fan of the '3' network though.
Even after the demise of their infamous, totalitarian 'walled garden' internet restrictions, they still are the most restrictive with their handset locking, firmware restrictions etc.
Vodafone, Orange and 3...

@GUCCI: Being unemployed should be the least of your worries. I have a brother in a matric and getting him motivated for anything seems like a mission impossible.

If you want 8gb get it, should work fine. N95 sucks? Ye I couldnt agree more, i mean its so useless, who needs it? It offers nothing over a W880, the best thing about W880 is its GIANT 1.9inch screen, i mean WOW ,and its AMAZING keypad, by far the best phone, lets not for get its Great quality giant loudspeaker!
